Roasted Broccoli
I have never eaten nor heard of roasted broccoli before. It just never seemed like the type of vegetable that one would roast, so the idea never entered my mind until I watched a Food Network show that showed how to make roasted broccoli. I thought it sounded, and looked, really yummy, so I had to make it for myself, although with some changes (I didn’t use the cheese or lemon).

Ingredients
1 head of broccoli
Olive oil
Salt & pepperMethod
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.Trim about 1 inch off the ends of the broccoli stalks and cut the broccoli lengthwise into spears. Arrange the broccoli on a nonstick cookie sheet, drizzle with some olive oil and season with a little bit of salt and a generous amount of pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Transfer to the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and turn broccoli spears over. Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes.
This yummy green side dish tastes amazing. I didn’t realize that roasting the broccoli would give it a totally different taste. I can’t even explain it, just try it for yourself next time instead of steaming or boiling!
I love broccoli! Honestly my favorite food.
I do this all the time when I am home. I am glad you enjoyed it! It gives the vegetables such an amazingly different taste. I also do a mixed vegetable one with broccoli, squash, zucchini, onions, red peppers and carrots!
I am wanting some now!!!
